Be Strong and Courageous

A few weeks ago I entered a give away at The Mom Creative  who was giving a way a canvas from Red Letter Words  and I chose this wonderful reminder of all things thankful. It is called Be Thankful and say so to Him . I have been reading A Holy Experience  for nearly a year now, most every day; along with having read Ann's book One Thousand Gifts  and trying to really give thanks and experience Joy more freely. So as this now adorns the kitchen wall where everyone can see, I am encouraged to keep the list going. this puts it so well Be Thankful and say so to Him;   Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.

Well here we are folks the winner is..... Drawn out by my trusty assistant Addysen... Mommy of Two Little Blessings. Mommy of two little blessings can email me via my blog and I will get her the coupon code for the $20 gift. Thanks to all who played.

  A Soft Place to Land  is giving a way a copy of the Reluctant Entertainer this week. I have read clips of this book and there is some great insight into why we are called to fellowship with one another. To 'Entertain" graciously and share our lives with one another.  I am a person who love to fellowship and cook and get to know people, my stumbling block seems to be making the time to do so. She talks in the post about purposefully setting up get together times (her is so the house will stay pick up) and for the fellowship as well. I have been much better at having ladies over for coffee, and walking, and fellowship time at this point in my life. With all the kids in school and when my husband is working his long 12 hour days, there has been "time" to make time. I have been weekly getting together with one are two ladies for the last month or so. It has been a blessing to get to know these 'new' gals and look forward to summer (a little bit) when all t...

I love Sara mae over at Like a Warm Cup of Coffee  and she has just release her E-book So she is giving a way a few copies along with some other great gifts! Here is what she had to say about it. " Woo hoo, the E-Book is finally finished! Even though I wrote the bones of this E-Book two years ago, I changed some of it, added new days, and added completely different challenges. I am also honored to have Sandy ( Reluctant Entertainer ), Kimba ( A Soft Place to Land ), Kimberly( Raising Olives ), and Darlene ( Time-Warp Wife ) as contributors to it. I think you will really enjoy this E-Book…I also think you’ll accomplish quite a bit with each day’s challenges; each day comes with a Mary challenge (deals with the heart) and a Martha challenge (all about cleaning) for you to complete. At the end of the book you will find some wonderful resources from ListPlanIt , official sponsor of the E-Book. 31 Days to Clean – Having a Martha House the Mary Way is only $4.99 and you can g...
